THE AMETHYST ERNEST ABRAHAMSON Ernie Among the many bright and cheerful seniors is Ernest Abrahamson. Although he has not done a great deal in the athletic line, he has greatly helped to boost Deering's standards as far as scholarship is concerned. Ernie plans on a career as a 'igobu in the Swiss Navy and we wish him the best of luck. Favorite expression: Holy Mackering Moses.

There are only a few of us who have had the pleasure ot knowing Warren He has been a rather quiet exhibition in our collection. But those who have known hun have been the better for their experience, for VVarren is a good- natured, whole-hearted fellow.

THE AMETHYST 13 pate in the meets this year on account of an injured knee and was missed in this event. The girls' basketball team, although not winning all its games, did not fail to live up to the standards of Coach McKechnie's teams. The great- est victory was the one over Portland High in the Deering gym, won by a score of 13-12. This game showed not only the training of Miss Mc- Kechnie, but the fighting spirit of the team, its ability to pull through in a crisis, and the strength of Captain Elinor Smart's leadership, which has been most sincere and inspiring throughout the season. Besides Captain Smart, Olive Dow, Lila Andrews, and Alice Linscott have been the out- standing stars of the season, and have averted many a crisis by their good judgment, coo-lheadedness, loyalty, and fight. In December the annual Spear prize speaking contest was held. Bar- bara.Gurney received the first prize of S50., and John Snider took the second, of 325. Both of these people later distinguished themselves by get- ting parts in the class play. As usual the seniors are planning a Washington trip under the guid- ance of Mr. Emmons and Dorothy Johnson. A club was organized with Roland Peterson, football star, as presidentg Olive Dow, vice-president, and Allen Rogers, treasurer. Everyone is looking forward to the May vacation. And now, friends. we have reached the end of four glorious, high school years. The girls and boys who have been together so long will now go in different directions and follow their life work. But, however far they may travel, however long they may live, there is not one who will forget the happy days spent at old Deering. Flu flirmnriam O To the three members of the class of 1927 whom we all knew and loved. Though we do not see them longer, Theirs are memories that will cling, Life is sweeter-life is grander For reminders that they bring.
